Job Overview:

 

We are looking for an FPGA / Embedded-Systems Engineer to join Arm’s Solution Engineering FPGA team on a permanent basis working at the forefront of Arm based embedded design.

 

Join our dynamic FPGA Prototyping team, a key part of Arm's Solutions Engineering group! We are a dedicated group of engineers providing a robust platform to build and test software on Arm's brand-new subsystems and System-on-Chips (SoCs). Our mission is to accelerate the development process by offering a versatile and high-performance prototyping environment that enables seamless software integration and validation. These solutions target a wide range of market segments including mobile, server, IoT, automotive, and more.

 

You'll be part of a project team working collaboratively to create an FPGA prototype for enablement and validation, working with verification and software engineers. You’ll have responsibilities estimating and owning tasks, delivering against a plan and have a strong focus on engineering efficiency and quality.

The role will involve building a detailed technical understanding of incoming Arm IP RTL designs and making the relevant design changes of this ASIC RTL. The role includes RTL creation and modification along with implementation constraints with high-quality, clear, accurate technical documentation.

 

The successful candidate will be responsible for delivery of designs using techniques such as gated clock conversion and synthesizable models to build accurate representations of real-world systems.

Responsibilities:

Modifying RTL from large complex systems to target a dedicated FPGA prototyping platform

Working collaboratively to deliver to a structured plan

Mentoring of junior engineers.

Liaise and collaborate with development teams, where required, to understand requirements and guide design decisions, ensuring these are implemented and where not possible/feasible providing mitigations and alternatives.

Translating technical requirements into estimated and sized packages of work that are direct inputs in forming a resourced project plan.

Taking ownership, for your tasks, tracking to the project plan, identifying, and handling risks and reporting status

Required Skills and Experience :

Solid FPGA Engineer with strong technical skills are important for this role! Design automation is essential when constructing efficient design and delivery flows, scripting skills in Python and TCL would be advantageous.

Detailed knowledge of the FPGA design flow from RTL design, simulation, synthesis, place & route, constraints, and timing closure

Strong RTL skills in Verilog / System Verilog or VHDL.

Knowledge and expertise in debugging sophisticated designs in both simulation and hardware.

Excellent communications skills, written and spoken English; ability to write coherent documentation.

“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience :

Demonstrate an understanding of ASIC/SoC prototyping in FPGA.

A creative and structured approach to problem-solving.

Working with the latest Xilinx UltraScale+ devices and tools.

Knowledge/Experience of implementation of PCIe/CXL and DDR memory sub-systems.

Programming languages such as: assembly language (ideally Arm assembler), higher-level (e.g. C), object-orientated (e.g. C++)

Use of a UNIX environment and shell programming

Scripting skills in Python, Tcl, etc.

Experience and knowledge of Arm IP and the AMBA standard

In Return:

Expand your expertise, be challenged and work with advancing technologies. Working alongside many other engineering teams including software, IP implementation and verification involving deep technical discussions, working with top class multifunctional engineering teams.

Quantum-Enhanced AI in Cyber Security: Guarding the Digital Frontier

The cyber security landscape has evolved dramatically over the past decade. Long gone are the days when businesses primarily worried about simplistic phishing or basic website defacements. Today’s threats include nation-state attacks, sophisticated ransomware, AI-generated phishing campaigns, and a wide array of stealthy intrusion methods. Organisations must defend vast digital ecosystems that include cloud infrastructure, IoT devices, and critical operational technology—any of which can become high-value targets for malicious actors. Amid these escalating challenges, a new technological wave is emerging: quantum computing. Although still in its infancy, quantum computing promises capabilities that could surpass even the most advanced classical supercomputers for specific tasks. Simultaneously, in the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI)—where data volumes and model complexity are exploding—quantum’s parallelism could significantly boost analysis, training, and decision-making. What unfolds when quantum computing and AI converge in the realm of cyber security? On one hand, quantum technologies could introduce stronger encryption and faster threat detection. On the other, adversaries armed with quantum power might break today’s cryptographic protocols or develop more potent attacks at unimaginable speeds. This article explores the phenomenon of quantum-enhanced AI for cyber security: the possibilities it unlocks, the challenges it poses, and the reasons it could reshape both defensive and offensive operations in the digital world.
